Beavis Posted January 18, 2009 Share Posted January 18, 2009 Got round to just fitting my front indicator silver lamps and i am concerned at how much duller these are in operation. They look way better than the standard orange one's but i am concerned about their lack of brightness What are other members experience's of fitting these and opinions?

Stew Posted January 18, 2009 Share Posted January 18, 2009 Hmmm. Marked difference. Should be fine on the open road. Just get your lad to drive it up the road with the indicator on and have a look..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I reckon it'll get brighter with use. Beat of heat in it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very happy with them though and put them on the back to Will live with them for the moment and i think i will order some more, these were not from JDM but off someone from here who i cant remember.
